I think I found a bug were the character just goes in a circle if you hold down up, and right. Also, it seems like the left and right controls are inverse and you have to hold down two buttons if you want to go up or down as alone, they don't do anything

Thanks for your feedback. The controls are confusing for sure and I could improve how they are explained in game (currently not at all haha), and its hard to tell what direction you are pointing in initially. The game controls like a top-down racing game: Left and Right change the direction you are facing/moving, Up and Down make you go faster or slower. So its expected that holding up and right would go in circles
This is incredible! Honestly I had more fun with this than Death Stranding.
It took me a while to get the hang of it, but eventually I was able to win with 5/5 settlements alive.
There's an excellent balance between gameplay elements. Often I lost due to dropping inventory off too soon instead of taking it to a further way town in more need. On my second last game I lost due to misjudging a cloud and dying to acid rain.
I would totally believe this was some lost shareware masterpiece from the '90s.
Thank you for your very kind words! I didn't make the connection until after the jam, but it did end up being very similar conceptually to Death Stranding haha.
Great job winning with all 5 settlements, I was worried I had made it too difficult. It was tricky to balance the two main constants of settlement health and supply refill time
Great idea and theme. I think the only problem with the game is that the controls are a little difficult to understand. Other than that, the gameplay and visuals are very good. Congrats!

Escape the acidReally cool game. I love the wasteland bike-rider theme. The game is challenging but not unfair. The parallax scrolling effect of the clouds is really neat and you put the dithering to good use for semi-transparency. Great job!

Rain of DeathReally creative game, and well executed as well, I only managed to save 1 settlement, and felt so bad when ever one was lost.

Corrosive SadnessI love the controls of this one, the way you have to turn and accelerate. It's challenging to keep the settlements alive, but it's fun to weave through the rain. The visuals are consistent and charming, and the SFX fit quite well with the game. Only slightly above the time limit, but making this in 3h32min is really impressive.

DoompourThank you :D. I'm happy with how the rain ended up working with the controls to create the weaving game-play you describe, especially since it is just unmodified perlin noise (wouldn't have had time for anything else). The game was roughly done in content around 3 hours but really needed the extra 30 mins to balance the difficulty a bit
The controls are a bit weird, but the game is really creative! Well done!
